Let me tell you about the current fave treat around here—crazy good Air Fryer Apple Pie Bombs! I found this during a hectic holiday rush and it quickly turned into my speedy sweet fix. Imagine biting into a puff of warm pastry, all buttery and cinnamon-apple on the inside. When these cook, my kitchen smells out of this world.
Why You’ll Crave These
If your sweet tooth hits but you’re not about that long-stirring life, you’ll want these apple pie bombs. They’re super quick and you probably have the ingredients kicking around already. The air fryer gives them that awesome crunch while the middle stays gooey. People always swear they taste deep fried but they aren’t!
What You’ll Need
- Butter: Melt it but let it cool a sec—otherwise it’s too hot for dunking.
- Apple Pie Filling: I always chop the apples smaller so it’s easier to stuff inside.
- Ready-to-bake Biscuits: I go with Pillsbury but really, any pre-made kind works.
- Cinnamon Sugar: I like to whip up a big batch to sprinkle over all sorts of things.
Seriously Easy Method
- The Finishing Move
- Toss them in the cinnamon sugar after dipping in butter while they’re still warm. That’s what makes them unreal.
- Air Frying Step
- Into the air fryer they go at 380°F for six-ish minutes. Watch 'em turn golden and gorgeous.
- Stuffing and Sealing
- Pop a dollop of that filling right in the middle, pinch up the edges, and roll into a ball. Double check you don’t leave any holes or the good stuff sneaks out.
- Prep the Dough
- Gently pull each biscuit into about a 4-inch circle. If you get the big ones, split them in half first for the best results.
Common Questions Folks Ask
- No air fryer? Totally fine! Just bake them in your oven at 375°F for fifteen minutes.
- Why call them bombs? Wait till that gooey center explodes in your mouth. You'll get it.
- No apple filling? You can swap in jam but pie filling just nails that taste.
Pro Hacks
- Keep an eye on your air fryer—every machine’s a little fussy.
- Oven users, wait for a lovely golden brown finish.
- Really make sure the seams are closed so you don’t get messy leaks.
Quick Tips For Later
Leftovers? Score! Drop them into a sealed box in your fridge and they’re good for about four days. A quick air fryer blast brings the crispy magic back. Honestly, sometimes I like them cold straight from the fridge too.
Super Fast Sweet Snack
I’m obsessed with how simple these are but you still get that classic apple pie flavor. Way lighter than deep-fried stuff since it’s all air fried, but trust me, you don’t lose out on taste. People clear the plate in no time every single time.
Fun Variations
- Switch Up Your Dough: Crescent rolls add fun flakiness if you’re feeling fancy.
- Try All Sorts of Fillings: Blueberry, caramel, cherry—use what you love!
- Make It Fancy: Add a drizzle of caramel sauce on top for extra yum.

I say keep these warm and serve with a heap of vanilla ice cream so it melts all over. It’s honestly dreamy! They’re also awesome with hot apple cider on those chilly days.
You’ll Keep Making These
